Hello!

How are you? Here are some pictures of dishes from different countries. 

Activity 1
Let's look at these dishes! Guess how many kilocalories (kcal) each one has!

1. 

The first one above is pasta. How many kcals do you think it has? 

This second one is bratwurst (German sausages). How many kcals do you think it has? 

2. 

The third one below is Thai chicken curry. How many kcals do you think it has?

 

3. 

This fourth one is of course sushi. How many kcals do you think it has? 

 

4. 

Talk about these and make some guesses about their kcal count. Now choose two foods and talk about them! You can talk about them like this: 

例：A: I think sushi is healthy. 

例：B: Really? I think udon is healthier. (☞ I think udon is healthier than sushi.) 

Try this talk with different kinds of foods you can also think of! 

Activity 2/homework

Choose three (3) of the foods above - and research how many kcal on average they have! 

Have fun! See you next time!
